As the youngest member of one of jazz's most famous families, Jason Marsalis was still in diapers when his older brother Wynton released his first album.

Not surprisingly, Jason took to music quickly, landing his first professional gig at the age of 12. Since then he has explored a variety of styles, both as a bandleader and a sideman, playing drums and vibraphone. His new album with his vibes quartet is called "In a World of Mallets."
